Three of the sections of this work are followed by epigrammatic "workpoints," including a series of "character-squeezes" describing Teresa di Petromonti as a "farded Berenice" and Fuad El Said as a "black moon-pearl." Its third section climaxes with a confrontation between Narouz and Nessim, while the climax of its first section is the supposed death of Capodistria during a duck-shoot on Lake Mareotis. The title character of its first section is the subject of Arnauti's novel Moeurs and is a lover of the narrator of much of this work, L.G. Darley, like the title character of its last section, Clea. For 10 points, name this series also including the novels Justine, Balthasar, and Mountolive, a novel cycle by Lawrence Durrell taking place in the title city.
